Psychological Insight Into The Bible
$38.99In recent years theologians and biblical scholars have begun to delve into the insights that come from the application of psychology to biblical texts. While these methods continue to be useful and popular, there has been nowhere where the “foundational” texts in the field have been collected. Wayne Rollins and Andrew Kille, who have both published and taught widely in this area, have assembled an excellent guide for those interested in this fascinating topic. Included in this volume are articles from across the landscape, spanning over one hundred years and including such authors as Franz Delitzsch, M. Scott Fletcher, Max Weber, and Walter Wink, as well as many modern scholars.

Incarnation And Resurrection
$42.99For too long contemporary theology has downplayed the importance of both the Incarnation and the Resurrection in constructing theological systems. Molnar surveys the place of these key doctrines in the thought of ten influential theologians, including Karl Barth, Karl Rahner, Thomas F. Torrance, John Hick, and Wolfhart Pannenberg. Fair, comprehensive and balanced, his analysis, following Torrance, highlights the intrinsic connection between these two doctrines and details the necessity of resurrection as the beginning, rather than the end, of Christology.

Music And Theology
$15.99This volume explores the major concerns and questions regarding music as it intersects with theology – past and present. Saliers, a senior scholar in this field, addresses in a clear and concise style the scope and contours of these issues as they relate to theological inquiry and application. He sketches the nature and significance of the subject, the history of reflection, the current lines of inquiry, and his own contribution to the discussion. He then opens the broader lines of discussion in suggestive, evocative, and programmatic ways.

History And Politics Of Latin American Theology 1
$45.00This work explores the contribution of major Latin American theologians to the intellectual and pastoral discussion of Christian involvement in contemporary politics. Aguilar argues that within the Latin American context there has been a rediscovery of a fluid, dualistic, and sometimes contradictory relation between the practice of religion and the practice of politics. Christians in the Latin American context were forced to respond to a general crisis in politics, whereby their own beliefs, ritual practices, and way of life was pushed to the limit by human rights violations and absolutist forms of government. The Christian response was a confrontation against the state as was the case of Chile, or a dissenting silence, as was the case of Argentina. However, the historical relations between Church and state, Christian communities and secular powers, were inscribed in literary texts in Latin America. These texts expressed an archaeology of historical and theological memory.
Section 1 examines religion and politics within the ecclesial framework provided by Gustavo Gutierrez, Jon Sobrino, and Ronaldo Muoz. Section 2 explores the challenges to those authors by focusing on a more political critique of Christianity and society provided by Pablo Richard, Ernesto Cardenal, and Oscar Romero and section 3 examines challenges to the previous six authors by discussing religion and politics within the context of ecological theology, the feminist critique to biblical studies, and discussions on culture and the Gospel today in Leonardo Boff, Elsa Tamez, and Diego Irarrazaval.

There Is More To The Secret
$16.99The Law of Attraction contends that one can have any health, wealth or relationship desired if the mind is trained to put out continual thoughts to attract it into one’s life. Although there is some truth to the fact that we tend to become what we think (the apostle Paul taught us that), the new-age representation of “individual as God” is a dangerous contention. In this companion book to the current media storm, Ed Gungor seeks to establish a more complete and accurate representation of the power of the mind by explaining the obvious role that the Almighty God plays in our lives with the power of the Gospel. This book is not written to attack recent publications but rather to correct their misguided advice while still speaking to the felt need that is causing millions to explore their pages.

Controversies In Political Theology
$35.99Controversies in Political Theology addresses the question of whether Christians should be struggling towards development or liberation. It explores the theologies of development and liberation, from their beginnings in the 1960s through their changes to the central arguments today. The contrasts are examined in the practice of faith-based aid agencies. The understanding of how to practice justice differs widely for development theology and liberation theology. Whilst the theology of development remain focused on the economic realm, on trade and consumption, the theology of liberation expands the discussion beyond the economic realm to deal with politics, race, gender and culture more generally. These different concepts of justice lead to very different actions in communities around the world. This book provides students with access to an in-depth view of these practices in a clear and concise context. The book looks not only at the theologies themselves but also how they came to emerge, and how they stand in contrast across the globe today.

Emerging Heart : Global Spirituality And The Sacred
$40.00Millions of Americans have adopted and adapted spiritual practices and virtues from a variety of traditions. What are they looking for? Theologian and retreat leader Beverly Lanzetta believes that our contemporary world desperately seeks a shared spiritual foundation adequate to meet our most pressing moral, religious, economic, and social issues. We need, she argues, a spiritual vocabulary to describe the unspoken, to interpret our common humanity, and to articulate our earthly concerns in a way respectful and inclusive of all.
Highlighting pioneers of global spirituality such as Thomas Merton, Thich Nhat Hanh, Abraham Heschel, Mohandas Gandhi, Howard Thurman, Bede Griffiths, and Dorothy Day, Emerging Heart shows how a variety of religious traditions emerge from and converge on a divine nature and mystic quality that creates a loving heart. Lanzetta first describes this phenomenon in her own experience and then elaborates on that mystical core, the notion of the divine, the new shape of interreligious dialogue, pioneers of this new global spirituality, and the personal, spiritual, and ethical challenges that it poses to us.
This is a book of breathtaking insight and high moral ambition to restore our sense of human possibility and high purpose.

True Story About The Sign Of Jonah
$27.48This book shows that the traditional view of Easter (Palm Sunday, Friday crucifixion, and Sunday morning resurrection) is not scriptural. To grasp what really happened to Jesus requires an understanding of the Hebrew calendar, derived from the book of Exodus. Jesus was crucified on the Preparation Day and was entombed during the Passover, on the spices and perfume Preparation Day and during the regular Jewish Sabbath. This is three days and three nights just as Jesus prophesied numerous times. The Easter festival was established with a Greek calendar much later and can never explain the sign of Jonah.

Marrow Of True Justification
$12.00The Marrow of True Justification or Justification Without Works contains the substance of two sermons preached on Romans 4:5.
“Justification by faith alone, that central doctrinal feature of the Reformation, has proven to be a controversial issue down through the years. This is not surprising, since it undermines the perennial human desire to have human merit as the basis for salvation. But this doctrine is eminently biblical. Moreover, it glorifies God and puts human beings in their place in a God-centred universe.
“Controversy erupted over this doctrine towards the end of the Puritan era, and it has to be admitted that Richard Baxter, such a good guide to Puritan views on ethical issues, was behind the theological errors to which Benjamin Keach ably responds in this vital work. But why reprint this work from a bygone day and old controversy? For the simple fact that theological error on this issue is not relegated to the past. As significant sectors of Evangelicalism careen towards theological disaster in our day, this issue of how a person is made right with God has again become a matter of debate and acrimonious dispute. And here Keach can help us.

No Other Gods
$16.99Kern Enterprises Publication
NO OTHER GODS is a compilation of lectures by Dr. Steve Kern given over a 20 year period in his class, The Biblical Creation Worldview. Examining the first 11 chapters of Genesis, Dr. Kern gives indepth evidence from science, archeology, history and scripture, providing an invaluable tool to those who want to give an answer for what they believe. “I have had the opportunity of reading No Other Gods prior to its publication and am privileged to write a Foreword introducing this helpful new book…Dr. Kern covers the records in those early chapters of Genesis in great detail and their relevance to God’s wonderful plan of creation and redemption…I believe this fine treatment could be a life-changing experience.”-Henry M. Morris, Institute in Creation Research “The foundation of God’s revealed truth is the book of Genesis. Reject it and you ultimately reject Jesus Christ – ‘the last Adam.’ Dr. Steve Kern’s book, No Other Gods, encourages readers to believe God’s word and provides reasons why they should.”-D. James Kennedy, Coral Ridge Ministries “Dr. Steve Kern is a close friend and associate. I know you will benefit greatly from learning the truths he communicates in his book, No Other Gods.” G. Thomas Sharp, Creation Truth Foundation NO OTHER GODS is a verse by verse apologetic of Genesis 1-11 from the literal creation point of view, historical fall of Adam & Eve, a worldwide flood and the diversification of languages resulting in the many people groups around the world.

Triune God : An Essay In Postliberal Theology
$32.00In this original, contemporary doctrine of the Trinity, William Placher places the history of theology in dialogue with postmodern philosophy and yields a provocative postliberal interpretation. Placher deftly connects a radical view of God’s transcendence with a narrative Christology. His resulting thesis is twofold: first, the doctrine of the Trinity is not a way of explaining the inner nature of God but a way of preserving God’s mystery; and second, the Trinity should be presented by showing how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one God–moving from the Three to the One, not the other way around. An exceptionally clear and engaging presentation of this central Christian doctrine, The Triune God both advances the scholarly and ecclesial discussion on the Trinity and provides an unusually concrete introduction to postliberal theology.

Kierkegaards Fear And Trembling
$15.00The SCM Briefly series is made up of short, accessible volumes which summarize books by philosophers and theologians, that are commonly used on theology and philosophy A level (school leaving) and Level One undergraduate courses.
Each Briefly includes line by line analysis and short quotes to give students a feel for the original text. In addition each book begins with a contextualizing introduction about the writer and his writings, and a glossary of terms follows the summary to help students with definitions of philosophical terms.
Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling is one of Kierkegaard’s earliest works, which he wrote under the pseudonym Johannes de Silentio. Kierkegaard had been a student of theology in Copenhagen, and had come to hate the Danish Church. He produced hundreds of leaflets against the Church during his lifetime. However his writing was largely ignored, and he was not a popular or well-regarded thinker in his own time. Hegel’s writing largely dominated philosophical thought throughout Kierkegaard’s life. Hegel believed that the highest goal for a person should be to loose oneself in the Universal. One should put aside his personal goals and ambitions and be motivated exclusively by the general interests of all. Kierkegaard regarded the individual above all else and so was repelled by Hegel’s communitarian ethic. His Fear and Trembling is a sustained response to Hegel’s ideas. It uses the story of Genesis 22, 1-18, where Abraham was willing to sacrifice Isaac without question, and only faith, to put across his own ideas and philosophy. Fear and Trembling is a required text on the UK A level syllabus.

Kants Religion Within The Bounds Of Mere Reason
$15.00The SCM Briefly series is a series of summarized texts that are commonly used on theology and philosophy A level and Level One undergraduate courses in the UK. As students are less likely today to come to these subjects with language experience, the Briefly series, summarising the meaning of the original texts, is a painless and quick way to get to grips with what the philosophers were writing about. The language throughout is modern and approachable, but the books manage to avoid “dumbing down” by including line by line analysis and short quotes to give students a feel for the original. In addition each book begins with an introduction, which provides a context for the writer and his writings, the chapters contain summaries to ensure the student has a context for that particular piece of writing, and each book also contains a glossary of terms.
Kant’s Religion Within The Bounds Of Reason Alone was written late in his life, following his most famous works including Critique of Pure Reason and Groundwork of Metaphysics of Morals. In it he considers the consequences of transcendental criticism for theology. Kant identifies a moral core to the Christian faith and asserts that because of that core and because the faith contains a principle for dispensing with the morally extraneous statutes and history associated with it, this faith can count as a moral, world religion. Seen by most philosophers and theologians as one of the most significant texts by this world famous philosopher, understanding is crucial for completion of any basic theology or philosophical qualification.

Christ And Empire
$48.33Although we loathe admitting it, Christians have often, through crusade, conquest, and commerce, used the name and power of Christ to promote and justify political, economic, and even military gain.
Rieger’s ambitious and faith-filled project chips away at the colonial legacy of Christology to find the authentic Christ – or rather the many authentic depictions of Christ in history and theology that survive our self-serving domestications. Against the seeming inevitability of globalized unfairness, Rieger holds up a “stumbling block” that confounds even empire.

Protestant Theology At The Crossroads
$27.99Crucial tasks face protestant theology in its currently critical state. Challenged with growing skepticism and discouragement, what hope has theology for the future, and what sources might deliver this hope? Gerhard Sauter sets himself to help theology answer critical questions and accomplish essential tasks in order to move forward with hope. Protestant Theology at the Crossroads examines contextual theology, in which particular cultural heritages, race and gender, and economic conditions and the structure of social life inform the teachings of the faith rather than vice versa. How, for example, do we approach the crisis in American self-understanding caused by terrorism? Do changes in European politics change our theological perceptions? Drawing on the Warfield Lectures at Princeton in March 2000 “at which many of these chapters were presented originally.” Protestant Theology does more than provide a much-needed overall explanation of the issues theology faces. It also contains basic information on the foundation of theology, hermeneutics, Christian ethics, many central doctrinal topics, and much more. This book is a vital text for those studying theology, involved in ministry, and training future church leaders.

All That Is
$38.33During the last year of his life, Arthur Peacocke raced against time to formulate a final comprehensive overview of his “emergentist – naturalist – panentheist” perspective. A group of ten specialists in science-and-religion then composed commentaries and critiques of Peacocke’s new “Essay in Interpretation.” In the last weeks and months of his life, Peacocke drew together a final set of reflections on and replies to their chapters. Peacocke’s “Nunc Dimittis,” his final theological reflections in the days before his death, completes this volume.
Peacocke’s brief sketch of how God and nature and humanity interrelate will prove a nascent classic in the field and a touchstone for further reflection. Led by editor Philip Clayton, respondents include: Nancey Murphy, Ann Pederson, Philip Hefner, John Polkinghorne, Karl E. Peters, Donald M. Braxton, Robert John Russell, Keith Ward, Christopher C. Knight, and Willem B. Drees.

Way Of The Lord
$35.99This careful and profound new work is a collection of previously published essays examining the experience of Scripture in the way it informs a wholly Christian life. With a special focus on the commandments and the Psalms, there is also a generous section on what other parts of the Old Testament have to say to our observations of theology today. In the first section, Patrick Miller is compelling in his portrayal of the rich complexities of the Ten Commandments and convincing in his assertion that aspects of the Decalogue appear and are expanded throughout Scripture. His second section shifts to the Psalms, revealing them to be as much a book of theology as a book of poetry and song, pointing a way of faith and life. The final section expands to consider more wide-ranging topics in theology and anthropology, contemplating the character of God and the nature of the human.”Part of being human, Miller writes, is a slow building up of trust based on experiences of God’s earlier deliverances. . . . It is in insights such as these that Miller is at his best. Throughout the book Miller’s writing is logical and profound. A close but clear reading is possible because Miller walks a reader through to his conclusion. One may not agree with all the conclusions reached, but Miller arrives at them fairly and with both textual and scholarly support. He offers fellow scholars and students alike a wealth of insights based on a lifetime of study. His book provides an excellent tool; it is an up-to-date reference work, particularly on the commandments and the Psalms. It is sure to be cited widely by those writing journal articles. Miller’s work “always outstanding, always reasoned, always well-written ” leaves a reader grateful for the chance to be walked through the richness of topics in the biblical text by one who has so profoundly shaped biblical scholarship for decades.”

Book Of Enoch
$9.95R. H. Charles provides a definitive translation of one of the most noted apocalyptic works still in existence. Often described as the lost book of the Bible, The Book of Enoch seems to have been written in Palestine by several different authors in the first and second centuries B.C. For hundreds of years it was accepted by the early church fathers, but it was rejected by the council of Laodicea in A.D. 364. Today, it remains a written remnant of the Apocalypse — an ardent testament to hope and the triumph of good over evil in the dawning of a world to come. Rife with concepts of original sin, fallen angels, demonology, resurrection, and the last judgment, it is a vital document to the origins of Christianity.
The Book of Enoch is comprised of various monumental works: The Book of Enoch, The Parables, The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries, The Dream Visions, The Concluding Section, and The Noah Fragments. Each work is independent, but all the works are bound by a common theme: the punishment of the wicked and the blessedness of the righteous. This edition, complete with analysis and notes, is an indispensable resource for the study and understanding of both the Old and New Testaments.

Friends Of Religious Equality
$49.98In the nineteenth century the dissenting Christian community fought for the civil rights of Roman Catholics, non-Christians, and even atheists on an issue of principle which had its flowering in the enthusiastic and undivided support which nonconformity gave to the campaign for Jewish emancipation. This book offers a case study of a theologically conservative group defending religious pluralism in the civic sphere, showing that the concept of religious equality was a grand vision at the center of the political philosophy of the dissenters.

The old maxim is true: sometimes it is not just what you say, it is how you say it. One of the great problems in the Christian community today is a general inability to communicate effectively without polarizing or driving people away. Sometimes the greatest problem is the seeming inability of many Christians to learn the truth of another old maxim: silence is golden. For God’s Sake, Shut Up!, by Communications Specialist Brian Kaylor, offers numerous insights for Christian leaders and followers who desire to share their beliefs in more meaningful and effective ways.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Texture Of Truth
$18.75Print on demand
We live in an age that increasingly flirts with a new paganism. As new systems of theological belief clamor for accommodation within the church, Christianity’s time-tested confessional heritage is abandoned. Deviant thought forms trickle down from the pulpit to weaken worshipers whose grounds of belief are already faltering. Douglas Vickers addresses this situation in The Texture of Truth by calling the church back to cardinal doctrines that have historically emboldened the Christian faith. Here, in straightforward terms that address the worshiper in the pew, is a sound articulation of what Dr. Vickers aptly refers to as “essential theology in the life and walk of faith.”The imperatives of Christian doctrine, soundly understood and held in biblical proportion, will enrich the meaning of the Christian life and the believer’s progress in sanctification. The Texture of Truth addresses the doctrine of God, Scripture, the divine covenants, creation and the Fall, the person of Christ and his redemptive offices, the application of redemption, and the place of the Christian in the church and the world.

Ive Been Wondering
$21.99IVP Print On Demand Title
College and seminary students rarely have a voice in theological discussions. True, there are many books written for them. Introductions to the Bible, surveys of church history, anthologies of theological classics, overviews of Christian doctrine, and dictionaries of the various theological sub-disciplines abound. But it is one thing for professional theologians to answer the questions they think their students ought to be asking, and quite another thing for them to listen and respond to the questions their students are actually asking.
This book does the latter. It contains a selection of email correspondence, which the author exchanged with his undergraduate theology students between the years 1997 and 2005 on matters pertaining to Christian faith and ethics. Most of the exchanges were triggered by questions that occurred to the students while they were taking one of the author’s undergraduate courses in theology, ethics, or church history. But the letters themselves are anything but academic exercises. They are intensely personal and reveal what is going on in the depths of the student soul. An exciting adventure of the human spirit as well as a stimulating challenge to the critical intellect is waiting for students and professors of theology or those on a lifelong study of Christianity.

Murder Manners And Mystery
$25.99Highlighting popular works by P.D. James, Colin Dexter, Ian Pears and Umberto Eco, among others, this subtle and intelligently written monograph examines the treatment of religion in the genre of contemporary murder mystery novels, and the implications of this phenomenon for understanding Christian thought in a post-Christian society.
The book begins by considering the critical question of authorial intent and the question of genre criticism and what makes a genre, a “serious” literary specialism. Is crime fiction ever destined to be written by “serious authors”? Erb argues that P D James proves this possible, writing for a multi-faceted, secular, popular audience and setting her books in a Christian context. The question, what is mystery is fully explored in the opening chapter, where Erb examines James’ A Taste for Death and Devices and Desires, and contrasts their treatment of mystery with Colin Dexter’s treatment in Death is now my Neighbour.
The second chapter considers the popularity of detective fiction at large focussing on James’ Original Sin and Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose.
The third chapter focuses on the problem of justice. Who is the murderer? This is the key to all detective novels: the murder itself is secondary. The narrative depends on the murderer’s ability to replace a crime with a convincingly constructed illusion of innocence, and to escape punishment by means of good manners. Erb explores this problem, first evident in Exodus, in P D James’ A Certain Justice and Ian Pears’ An Instance of the Fingerpost.
Finally Erb looks at retribution. Can justice ever be anything more than retribution, death without hope? What satisfaction can be made for the loss of a human life? How can a murderer ever fully confess a crime and experience thanksgiving in final release from the consequences? These questions are considered in light of James’ Death in Holy Orders, and Colin Dexter’s A Remorseful Day.

“Lord, here am I. Change him.”
“God, I’m trying. She started it.”Common claims but they’re so far from Trinitarian life. We invoke Christ at the wedding then seem to default to an alien theology afterward.
In this simple and practical book, Doug Wilson offers a richer and more comprehensive theology of marriage than in his prior works. Here he grounds marriage in the life of the Trinity and in the life of the church. Marriage is intended to be a glorious picture of the gospel, and marriages grounded elsewhere regularly create a small hell on earth. Don’t miss the riches of marriage.

12 Days Of Christmas
$19.92The twelve days of Christmas run from December 26 to January 6, the Feast of the Epiphany, the date on which we traditionally recall the Magin’s arrival to present gifts to the infant Jesus. For many, the sacred meaning of these days is lost. By Christmas night we are saturated with the holiday hype, overfed with music and food, and maybe quite disappointed that the presents we received have not fulfilled us. Almquist invites readers to go deeper than the tinsel and wrappings to the source of all the good gifts in life: love, forgiveness, joy, hope, and so on. These are gifts that, once unwrapped, will last and satisfy our spiritual cravings.

Human Person In Gods World
$35.99Austin Farrer’s important contribution to philosophical and theological anthropology is discussed here by the six main contributors to the Austin Farrer Centenary Conference held at Oriel College in 2004.
After an Introductory survey by Basil Mitchell, Nancy Murphy provides an in-depth study of Farrer’s defence of the freedom of the will, Edward Henderson brings out the key notion of double agency in Farrer’s conception of the way God acts in and through the human person. Brian Hebblethwaite explores Farrer’s writings for the light they throw on creation and evolution, with special reference to the problems of providence and evil. David Brown extends Farrer’s insights on the role of images in biblical revelation to their role in natural religion, and Douglas Hedley shows how Farrer’s – and Mitchell’s – work on the imagination enriches our understanding of the relation between faith and reason. The Centenary Conference sermon by the Bishop of Oxford is also appended.
